A pinch of clay, a pinch of steel and a pinch of wood
Fermenting the Pinch of Salt Chardonnay in three vessels creates a wine with layers of flavour and depth, just like a pinch of salt brings out the best in every dish. Wentzel’s recipe calls for three pinches: fifty percent stainless steel for a crisp character, thirty percent French oak for richness, and twenty percent ancient clay amphora for a unique blend. Often, what one thinks of as new is in fact a reimagined pinch from the past.
The result is a lightly wooded wine showing fresh acidity, minerality and a zesty structure. Smell fresh stone fruit and vibrant citrus notes. Taste a steely minerality with crisp citrus and yellow stone fruit flavours and a long zesty acidity. No extra pinch of nothing is needed.

Pinch of Salt is perfect with fish cakes and a light salad with a balsamic vinaigrette.
